Methods to Amortize Prior Service Cost

Wolz Company, a small business, has had a defined benefit pension plan for its employees for several years. At the beginning of 2019, Wolz amended the pension plan; this amendment provides for increased benefits based on services rendered by certain employees in prior periods. Wolz's actuary has determined that the related prior service cost amounts to $105,000 . Wolz has four participating employees who are expected to receive the increased benefits. The following is a schedule identifying the employees and their expected years of future service:
